Remarks

This feature supports Basic and Digest authentication as described in RFC 2617.

With Basic authentication, passwords are included in HTTP headers in clear text; however, you can use HTTPS to encrypt the
headers and protect the password. With Digest authentication, headers are not sent in clear text but are hashed.
